Works and plays great and the 240 has been able to handle everything I can throw at it.

i'll trade you my netbook for your laptop.

No deal sir. I should like to add that mine was actually the 550 and came with a 15.6 screen as well. 14 might be easier to carry though.

i'm going to be checking that website everyday from now til new years. i know i said i'm fine with not buying a laptop but all this hunting has gotten me hungry. i realized how terribad my netbook's GPU was when i couldn't play CS 1.6 or audiosurf on it.

My friend has one of these and she loves it. This looks like the same one but with slightly better hardware (cpu, ram, hard drive). As far as quality goes Lenovo is very good and will last a while. Try and find a lower price for that one though, I think you can get it for cheaper.

Works and plays great and the 240 has been able to handle everything I can throw at it. The only problem, and THIS is important to so read this: the control button isn't on the far left. Instead there's this button called fn which change the lighting and stuff. This can get really annoying, especially in Starcraft where your so used to pressing control at it's old spot.

There are a few apps that let you re-bind keys. I have one on home desktop, for which I do not have a "pause" key, so I made F-12 into "pause". Its a tiny script you run in the system tray and you can stop at any point to go back to the original set-up.

I can check the name for the one I am using tonight and let you know.
